So normally when Harry befriends a Slytherin, it’s any one or multiple of the following: Draco, Blaise, Theo, Daphne, and Pansy.
          	
          	But what if - and hear me out here - he befriended Goyle and/or Crabbe?

@onyxjay I agree. Which i think would be easier with a true friend out of Slytherin.

@RitaTodd6 no worries, I should have explained what I meant. Basically, yes, we do kinda see them as one unit and not two individual people (who happen to be written as one unit by the original author anyway). So it would be interesting to see more stories where they actually act like separate characters

@onyxjay sorry I know you didn't I wasn't trying to say that. I was just saying my thoughts would be both of them as they are almost always together. Sorry.

Hey, I was translating A Little Help from a Snake into Brazilian Portuguese (with your prior permission), but I recently lost my old account and all my previous progress was erased. I thought I'd ask for your permission again to avoid any future confusion. Can I restart the translation on my new account? Always giving you credit and marking in every chapter, of course

onyxjay

Oh no, that sucks! Of course you can

Poisonous birds. That’s it, that’s the announcement.

@AppleExpress some birds eat poisonous food that make them poisonous. For example, the pitohui bird, which has the same chemical compound (BTX) found in poison dart frogs

This is by no means a recent thing, but I thought I’d go ahead and say this.
          
          To anyone who’s ever posted a story on here, whether you’ve had hundreds of views or even zero, be aware of scammers in the comments. They’ll give a vague compliment and then ask if you’d like to connect with them elsewhere, usually Discord or another texting app. Their account is often only a week or two old at most, and they have nothing on their profile.
          
          Report them, delete the comment, block and mute, do whatever it is, just don’t respond.
          
          That is all.

Thanks for the heads up

@InquisitorBeals no, they’re definitely targeting new writers too. I think you’re just lucky they haven’t messaged you yet.
            
            Because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether your works are “desired” or not, the scammers aren’t actually reading them. They’re just spam commenting and hoping somebody, even one person, falls for it.

So those scammers might be only targeting major authors

There is a species of goby (fish) called a scaly boy. Nothing to add here, it’s magnificent

I’m like sooo close to saying screw it, here’s the first chapter of my new HP fic.
          
          The premise is this:
          
          Harry is Sorted into Hufflepuff. First year passes by uneventfully (I actually skip it completely), but then he gets an odd little black diary that contains an odd (and not so) little dude.
          
          
          Don’t know what the main romantic ship will be just yet, but I do know for sure it will NOT be Tomarry.
